Run an expedited allocation recommendation
Intended audience: clinical services coord - csc
An expedited allocation is a provisional list of eligible organ recipients. It can be run under the following circumstances, to expedite the offer and acceptance process so organ recovery can begin:
Before all of the donor information (such as clinical information, HLA typing or serology results) is collected.
If the Canadian Transplant Registry (CTR) is unavailable, meaning the following recipients cannot be included in the allocation recommendation:
IPOS Kidney recipients.
High Status heart recipients.
High Status liver recipients.
Organ acceptance based on incomplete donor and CTR information is provisional.
When missing information becomes available, a the allocation can be discontinued and re-run, which creates a different allocation recommendation list.
Previously accepted offers must be withdrawn by a CSC if the recipient is found to be not suitable, based on the new information.
An expedited organ might be delivered to a transplant program but cannot be used for the intended recipient.
